the folks down in the gulf coast experienced back in 2005 with katrina, and i found this online and wanted to read it and close out the week and show this way, this is a letter from new orleans to folks here in the northeast. it reads this. dear northeast, wow, is your week about to suck. potentially it will continue to be so for many months, but ultimately you'll come out it okay. people find a way. you will become very resourceful. you'll bond with your friends and neighbors in ways you never expected, and you'll have a lot of love and help from the rest of us from far away too. all that said i hope you're ready for a fight. there might be someone to tell you whatever happened it was punishment from god, that you're an idiot for where you live, that your homes should be abandoned. there will be a lot of people who will say it's your own damn fault, that you deserve this misery, that the rest of us should not be responsible for taking care of you, that you're not worth saving. don't listen to those people. we know what you're going to. if you need to, call us. you can stay with us as long
